Colophon

This collection had been separated physically by format without notations regarding relationship. The relationship was discovered by archives staff in August 2017 while conducting research for the description of another collection. Therefore, it was reconstituted as a whole- the documents along with the sound recordings. The documents were left, primarily, as they were; they are arranged in folders by subject. The sound recordings have been placed in their boxes alphabetically by last name.
